agreed, "pats Nath on head"

[Nath]

it's days like this where I'm glad my hair isn't "Bollinger-riffic"

as ever you are a sage young vixer...**pats nath on the noggin **

Nick Jewell retires to concentrate on a coaching career...a great servant of domestic first class cricket.

He has asked cricket vic to realease him from the last year of his contract...

Jewell may be the very last bloke to have played AFL and first class cricket (he had one game with the tiges)

[horace]

time for a cricket thread...good times

[horace]

and where is skully?

[skully]

I'm here, and chuckling that you never used your short-term Elder status to change the thread title back after someone tampered with it (no, not me - I think it was Merls ).

But then again, a sausage-fingered Octogenarian like you possibly couldn't work out such intricacies.

[tac]

h was well aware I changed the title . . . he accepted as fitting homage

[skully]

Well there ya go. And there was me thinking it was Zog what done it.

lucky man escaping after just one game ... one can only hope he was not a supporter as well

[horace]

'fraid so lardy...Nick's dad is Tony - ex Tigers player and theiir last premiership coach

[horace]

hehehe

[skully]

Was this a split thread?

Hehehe, well played, h.

aah Autumn when it is glorious in Melboune and as is now the custom - the Shield Final is hosted by the Vix.

This year again it is Queensland v Victoria...(what is wrong with the dubbers and the other States?)..

A ferocious contest is anticipated between the two rivals...as opposed to those two b grade teams playing in snoozieville

let the fun begin!!!

by the way I wonder who the neutral FB'ers are supporting ???

not far away now to the start of the new season...finally some cricket

[horace]

starts on the 8th with the tozzies playing the chips at banjo park

[horace]

skully - you must be be looking forward to the dubbers earning some redemption this year

[skully]

Meh, I'll settle for Aus doing well in the Ashes. I can't imagine how depressing it will be if the Forum 5 are watching day 1 of a dead rubber at the SCG come January.

[Zat]

That's what alcohol is for.

[skully]

Yes, fair point. As a result I've reconsidered the whole driving to the game caper.

[Zat]

No, don't reconsider, drive. I'm sure you can trust your fellow forumers. Especially the assassin and me...

[skully]

Hmm, let me think about that proposition.

[embee]

Meh, I'll settle for Aus doing well in the Ashes. I can't imagine how depressing it will be if the Forum 5 are watching day 1 of a dead rubber at the SCG come January.

Farque Off ya SGDT ...The Forum 6+2 had a great day at the G with the Ashes well and truly regained ...

[skully]

Well yes, A, I imagine having the series wrapped up allowed some levity and maybe just a touch of arrogance from the 6 towards any nearby Pomgolians.

The point is if the series is gone then no such swagger will be possible, and we may be subjected to loud arrogance from the Barmy Army. It'd be great to have the series still on the line to add to the tension.

[horace]

take a cab there skully...the ambos will take you home

[horace]

Meh, I'll settle for the spivs doing better in the Ashes against the poms this time I can't imagine how depressing it will be if the Forum 5 are watching day 1 of a dead rubber at the SCG come January.
